Abstract

A 2 months old female Korean domestic shorthair cat weighing 1.2 kg was come to hospital because of respiratory discomfort and lethargy. Heart sounds was more intense and clear on the right side than the left. On radiographic views, loss of the normal diaphragm line, undistinguishable shadow of heart, shadow of gas-containing intestines could be observed in thoracic cavity. Diaphragmatic herniorrhaphy was performed by using propofol 8 mg/kg IV and isoflurane without any complication. On 7th day after the operation, almost all the clinical signs and radiographs including diaphragmatic line, cardiac silhouette, liver and small intestines were turned to normal.
